There is no well-known indicator that can assist with a precise intranasal incision during open rhinoplasty on the caudal border of the lower lateral cartilage. However, the vibrissae-bearing area is clinically known as a good landmark for cartilage. The aim of this study was to investigate the features of the vibrissae-bearing area in relation to the lower lateral cartilage.
Twenty-four heminoses of fixed Japanese cadavers were dissected to clarify the anatomical location of the vibrissae-bearing area in relation to the lower lateral cartilage.
The medial part of the vibrissae-bearing area was precisely located on the medial crus of the lower lateral cartilage. Via a transitional state at the dome, the lateral part was located cephalic to the lateral crus in a manner in which the vibrissae-bearing area was adjacent to the lateral crus (adjacent type) in 22 cases, whilst the vibrissae-bearing area overlapped the lateral crus to some extent (overlap type) in two cases.
The anatomical location of the vibrissae-bearing area in relation to the lower lateral cartilage is almost uniform, suggesting its utility as an open rhinoplasty incision landmark.
在开放式鼻整形术的下外侧软骨尾侧缘，没有公认的指标可以协助进行精确的经鼻切口。然而，毛发生长区在临床上被认为是软骨的一个很好的标志。本研究旨在探讨毛发生长区与下外侧软骨的关系。
对 24 具固定的日本尸体进行解剖，以明确毛发生长区相对于下外侧软骨的解剖位置。
毛发生长区的内侧部分精确位于下外侧软骨的内侧脚。通过穹窿的过渡状态，外侧部分位于外侧脚的前方，毛发生长区与外侧脚相邻（相邻型）的有 22 例，而毛发生长区在一定程度上与外侧脚重叠（重叠型）的有 2 例。
毛发生长区相对于下外侧软骨的解剖位置几乎是一致的，这表明它可以作为开放式鼻整形术切口的标志。
